Just wondering if anyone has had experience with Dr. Sonnanstine in Columbus OH?

Yes, he did my VSG at Riverside Hospital in December 2012. He was fantastic- great surgeon. His office staff left much to be desired, though. That would be my only complaint. They are not the brightest bulbs. I do know that they have revamped the office, maybe they got rid of some dead weight as well. I liked the dieticians as well. Let me know if you have any questions!

That is great to hear. How long were you in the hospital and how was your recovery?

I went in on Monday and was out Wednesday afternoon. Felt like hell the 1st 4 days, but by the 5th felt good.

That is not too bad. I am hoping to just take my two weeks vacation and not have to use disability. I have a sedentary job.

How much have you lost? I have about 130 to lose. I am almost 49 and have tried every diet out there. I lose and gain the same 20 pounds. I am also beginning menopause.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
